Couldn't help to try some of these Skorpion skates. First run at Roller & Coquillage sunday 20km rando, along the streets of Paris.
pro: - cool strap system to put on/off your skorpions, this is very cool when you alternate public transports often, don't need to remove your shoes!!! - 100mm wheels are tolerant on almost every peebles, pavements - quite light: 1.5kg each skate - very confortable - love their design - interaxes are the same than my vert skate V2!!!
cons: - Quadline wheels saturates in speed and seems to stick on smooth surface
conclusions:
-Very good for cool street crusing in cities on short distances (4km) in combo with public transports. -Need to test other inline wheels -Vert/bowl too???
This 2nd challenge and 3rd birthday was sunny again!!!!! A very cool event with BMX, skateboarding and Rollerskating friends. Franziska Scholz was there too, skateboarding hard against the sun ;-) For the comp, you have to choose your category: pro or amateur. As I didn't care, finishing last of the pros, I chose pro. Like this, I also let some places for youngers (Ok I know what you are thinking: everybody was younger...) in the AM category. As everything never works totally as you intend, there were few pros, and I finished third ;-) behind Greg Maury (1st: 150eu) and Nicolas Colliaux (2nd: 100eu). So this year, no cup, but price money for me and of course lots of fun from 10am to 19:30pm, huhu !!!!!
